Group of Egyptian Whirling Derivishes
Group Egyptian Dervishes. Dervish or Darvesh in Persian usually refers to a person who is a seeker of the truth i.e. universal truth. Within the Islamic tradition such people are often known as Sufis, Sufi, people of the way or mystics and they come from every strata of society; here monetary considerations are inapplicable since the situation is that of a deep personal inner spiritual longing. There are in existence a number Sufi Orders many of which bear the name of a great saint and within these orders various practices have continued over the centuries in order to assist generations of seekers whose desire is to be brought to reality itself. It is said that the number of ways to reality/truth exceeds the number of grains of sand on the beach. It may be noted that this infinite number of ways to truth can even start at a point beyond religion, ultimately the truth is an univeral quality."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts a group of Egyptian Dervishes, also known as Sufis or seekers of truth, engaged in their whirling ritual during the early 1930s. The Dervishes, a Sufi order rooted in Islamic mysticism, are shown in traditional attire, with their iconic tall hats and long, flowing robes. Seated in a semi-circle, they appear deep in meditation, their hands raised in a gesture of supplication or blessing. The practice of whirling, or Sama, is a central aspect of Sufi tradition, representing the seeker's spiritual ascent and union with the divine. The rhythmic beats of drums and cymbals accompany the Dervishes as they spin, lost in the ecstasy of their inner journey. The mystical experience transcends religious boundaries, as the quest for truth is a universal human longing. Sufi Orders, many of which bear the name of great saints, have continued to flourish throughout history, offering various practices to help seekers connect with their inner selves and the divine reality. The infinite ways to truth, as expressed in this photograph, can be found beyond the confines of religion, ultimately revealing the universal quality of the truth itself. This historical image captures a profound moment in the spiritual journey of these Egyptian Dervishes, inviting us to reflect on the timeless quest for truth and the transcendent power of music and dance in connecting us to the divine.
